State court upholds ban on inmate personal computers
The West Virginia Supreme Court ruled that denying inmates access to personal computers is not an obstacle to justice. The ban originated from a Mount Olive Correctional Complex suit filed by convict Charles Plantz, with the ruling backing DOC directives and a 1997 memorandum restricting inmate technology. The decision affirms the warden and corrections officials authority to implement the computer ban in a maximum security facility.
